The invention relates to a method for separating and recovering
arsenic and iron from biological
leachate containing
arsenic and iron, which comprises the following specific steps: adding an adsorbent into the biological
leachate containing
arsenic and iron, uniformly mixing, reacting, and separating
solid and liquid after adsorption is completed to obtain an arsenic-iron solution without bacterial residues; adding a
reducing agent into the obtained arsenic-iron solution, detecting that arsenic and iron are respectively converted into trivalent and bivalent, and completing the reaction to obtain a solution containing low-valent arsenic and low-valent iron; an extracting agent is added into the reduced arsenic-iron solution, an arsenic-containing organic phase and an iron-containing
raffinate are obtained, the iron-containing
raffinate is used for returning for biological leaching, the organic phase is subjected to reverse extraction, an arsenic-containing reverse extraction solution is obtained, and the organic phase obtained after reverse extraction is used for arsenic extraction again; and adding
sodium hydroxide into the arsenic-containing strip liquor, uniformly mixing, adding
benzyl chloride, stirring for reaction, standing for layering, adjusting acidity for
crystallization, and washing and
drying the
crystal to obtain the benzyl arsonic acid product. The method overcomes the defects of large
slag amount, difficulty in product purification, complex process, low arsenic and iron
recovery rate and the like in the existing
neutralization process, fully recycles arsenic and iron resources in the
bioleaching liquid, and has the advantages of high
recovery rate, large product additional value, no secondary
pollution in the process, low investment and the like.
